Dai The Flu
Deftones · Around The Fur [1997]
I always wondered why it takes
fifteen stitches and a soft parody
to make my eyes be like deceit I
believe the sting proves heart to me
Now I know that you love me
Thank god that you love at all
Dislocated at the joint
timing is everything in the bed
'cause you'll sleep for hours to
keep away then sink the teeth and bat your eyes at
Now I know that you love me
Thank god you love at all
What's the surprise I was right
here going off and going on
At least now I know that you
Love me thank god that you love at all
What's the surprise I was right here
going off going on dai the flu
fifteen stitches and a soft parody
to make my eyes be like deceit I
believe the sting proves heart to me
Now I know that you love me
Thank god that you love at all
Dislocated at the joint
timing is everything in the bed
'cause you'll sleep for hours to
keep away then sink the teeth and bat your eyes at
Now I know that you love me
Thank god you love at all
What's the surprise I was right
here going off and going on
At least now I know that you
Love me thank god that you love at all
What's the surprise I was right here
going off going on dai the flu
